In 2024, Spartakus APM services played a key role for organizations focused on improving reliability. Spartakus APM solutions used its analytics and monitoring tools to help clients find and fix important issues. This reduced downtime and saved a lot of money on operations.
This article shares key findings from our APM software database. It shows how these insights led to real improvements. These findings indicate general trends, with data gathered throughout 2024 and covering 80% of our users/clients.
Key Insights from Spartakus APM software in 2024

AC motors had the most reported issues among the monitored components. Pumps and gearboxes followed closely behind. Motors are critical to industrial operations, and even minor issues can escalate into significant problems if left unchecked.
Top Issues in Motors:
- Bearing faults caused the most motor-related problems. They often show up as high vibration levels and need quick action.
- Lubrication faults: Poor lubrication led to increased friction and wear, reducing motor efficiency.
- Structural looseness: Misaligned or loose components compromised motor performance, leading to inefficiencies and potential failures.

Key Insights from Spartakus APM: Vibration Analysis, Lubrication Management, and Oil Analysis
In 2024, Spartakus asset performance analytics provided valuable insights into key areas of machine health through advanced asset performance monitoring tools and diagnostics. Three primary focus areas emerged from the PM/CBM entries logged in the system:
Vibration Analysis
Vibration analysis accounted for 52% of the PM/PdM entries in Spartakus APM. This technology remains vital for detecting subtle changes in equipment performance that indicate underlying issues. Spartakus’s tools helped diagnose critical problems, including:
- Unbalance in rotating machinery.
- Misalignments causing unnecessary strain on components.
- Looseness in structural or mechanical parts.
Lubrication Management
Lubrication-related issues represented 37% of the PM/PdM activities. Spartakus flagged common problems such as water contamination, insufficient lubrication, and degraded oil. These alerts allowed maintenance teams to perform timely oil changes and system flushes, significantly extending equipment lifespan.
Oil Analysis: Diagnosing Hidden Threats
Oil analysis makes up only 8% of the PM/PdM entries. However, it is very important for finding hidden problems. We found problems like water contamination and debris buildup. This helped us detect faults early in hydraulic systems and gearboxes.
By addressing these areas, Spartakus APM equipped maintenance teams with actionable insights to improve machine reliability, reduce downtime, and optimize asset performance.
Spartakus can easily cross-reference technologies. This helps quickly identify potential issues from different perspectives. The asset health dashboard has also been useful this year. Thanks to this user-friendly dashboard, Spartakus users were able to keep an eye on their asset health from a high-level.
The $30 Million Impact
The data collected and analyzed by Spartakus APM in 2024 saved $30 million. This was due to avoiding expensive production line shutdowns. By finding and fixing machine problems early, Spartakus helped maintenance teams avoid unexpected downtime and make informed decisions. This also lowered repair costs and improved asset lifecycles.
